Highlighted Collections

Over the years, Weiss Auctions has had the privilege of curating and presenting some of the most remarkable collections in the industry. We’ve set world records across nearly every major collecting category, while also handling mid- to lower-value items with equal dedication.

Some of our most notable collections include:

• The Arthur Meyers Baseball Collection, one of the finest collections of single-signed baseballs ever offered at auction.

• The Bethlehem Pedigree Comic Collection, one of the first pedigreed collections to include Silver Age comics (view here).

• Additional major comic collections such as the Sherwood Golden Age, Eldon Dedini, and Big Apple collections.

• The Joe Kubert Estate, featuring original comic artwork from the legendary artist himself.

• A wide array of train and toy collections from noted collectors including Joseph Cutrofello, Jan Kalas, Neil Padron, and the Finger Lakes Collection.
